The 2025–26 Indiana Pacers season will be the 59th season of the franchise and the 50th season in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The team will enter the season as defending Eastern Conference champions. For the first time since the 2014–15 season, Myles Turner won't be on the team's opening day roster, as he signed with the Milwaukee Bucks as a free agent. This season will also mark the full-year absence of Tyrese Haliburton, which was confirmed by Kevin Pritchard, the Pacers' president of basketball operations due to a torn Achilles tendon he suffered in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.
